chris christie forged relationships with south jersey democrats. the end result was he did everything he could to manufacture a headline. something that i write about a lot. our national media is like a dog with a bone. is that two weeks ago in new jersey, chris christie had a 33 point lead. the much neglected democratic candidate there at the close of the race actually came up somewhat. not trying to paint a fantasy picture, but the same time democrats have construed -- have control of the state legislature and the minimum wage increase to chris christie vetoed one by the same percentage of the vote that he won by. new jersey is style over substance. the substantive result is that they voted against what chris christie stands for in all the other races.
